Illustrated by
Linda Davick.
Ten children decorate their apartment building's Christmas tree. Each holiday-attired child contributes something to the tree, from "1 shiny golden star" to "10 pretty presents" (with "9 menorah candles" thrown in). Schulman's sometimes awkwardly rhymed text is accompanied by illustrations that, while bright and cheery, are a bit chaotic (much like the season).
